We recently had a short get away to the Hunter Valley for the Easter long weekend. What an amazing place. The Hunter Valley Resort was a fabulous place to retire to at the end of a long wine tasting day! The rooms are clean and tidy and the beds are very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. There... More

This was the perfect getaway for my wife and I. We just wish we had planned a longer stay. We will be there again. Perfect for wine lovers and just relaxing. Beautiful surrounds. All you need to worry about doing is being lazy, tasting some beautiful wines and enjoying beatiful foods. If you want to be more active though you... More

We spent a few days at the resort and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in a Hunter Room and while the rooms are probably in need of a little refurbishment , they were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Staff were all smiles, friendliness and willingness to help. The restaurant and bar were nice enough although a wider selection may... More

I spent a large amount of time looking for accomodation for myself and my mum to go away for a girls weekend, but lots of places seemed overpriced, too big, too small or too far away from the action. The Hunter Valley Resort was perfect when we fianlly arrived! The room size was the perfect size, with everything we needed,... More

My friend and I shared a twin room which I found clean and comfortable with all the facilities we required. I appreciated the pillow menu! The room was nice and warm given the evenings were a little bit chilly. We ate at the resort for breakfast and in the evening. Breakfast was exactly what I wanted and the staff were... More

The resort offers everything you need for an enjoyable weekend, not only is the food and facilities fantastic but the staff were excellent, fun and set a favourable mood for your first impressions. Well done Hunter Valley Resort owners you obviously encourage high standards of service as your staff are genuinely happy to be there and give it their all.

We bought 2 nights from groupon and paid $250 odd dollars for it. Which we originally thought was a good deal. We booked over a weekend which incured an additional $30 ontop of the voucher's cost. Then we spent very close to $600 for the rest of the stay on simply eating and attempting to enjoy our stay. The voucher... More

We are confused with how your stay could have added $600 to your prepaid voucher - as everything was included in the voucher cost - breakfast, accommodation, theatre, vineyard tour, and Binnorie Dairy. The only extras would have been lunch & dinners and wine purchases?? Re Taxi transfers prices - Singleton Railway Station is a 40km round trip, pricing of... More

Rooms well below a 4* standard: out-dated, basic, noisy. Simple amenities like hot water were not available. Staff were poorly trained, unfriendly and unwilling to help (particularly those in the brewery). Restaurant food was below standard, slow to be served and expensive for what it was. Hunter Resort is out of the way and the roads to/from are terrible (not... More

It would seem your Hunter Valley experience has been tarnished by the terrible local roads - and we have come off second best! We agree about the roads - in fact council has just started a $29 million upgrade. And high time too. Thanks for the constructive feedback. More

Stayed here for 3 nights in a vineyard room. It was ok, fairly good value for money considering the price of accommodation in the HV and all the inclusions they offered in our package, which is the reason we chose it. The rooms are ok, the beds and pillows are super comfy but the walls really are paper thin, we... More
